Coming home...

 Well, I've finally done it; I've booked my flight home. My European adventure of over three and half years ends on April 27th.  

This has kinda bubbled up a lot of feelings for me and I'm feeling a little bit emotional about it all. I'm still processing...

There's going to be some sadness - I'm leaving behind good friends I've made here, likely forever.

There will be regrets - things I wish I could've done, having been so close, but they were still just out of reach.

There will fear - again, I leave the comfort of the home I've made myself here to walk into an uncertain future.

There will be tension - as I scrabble about to get things sorted before I leave (and there are many).

But there will also be relief - I'm leaving behind that which has been slowly killing me emotionally, spiritually and even physically.

And, finally, there will be joy - I'm coming home.

Mama, I'm coming home

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm comin home
Times go by, seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm comin home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm comin home
I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad it's been so long
Mama, I'm comin home

Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before the fall, yeah
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause mama, mama, I'm comin home
I'm comin home
I'm comin home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found an turned around
By the fire in your eyes

I've seen your face a thousand times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause mama, mama, I'm comin home
I'm comin home
I'm comin home
